My Review:
The author had to make a very difficult choice twelve years ago and has wrote a book about the "what ifs". While this is a powerfully emotional book, it is also one that makes you know that you'll always wonder "what if" but an ending can also mean a new beginning. Life gives you several roads to travel... it's up to you to decide which one you'll take and then how you'll travel it. I couldn't put this book down and loved seeing the path of two different roads.
Be still my aching heart!

While I cannot imagine what it would be like to have to make a choice such as this, I do, even presently, wonder where my life would be had I not had any miscarriages. How different my present and my future would be had things worked out differently. Is it better this way? Is this what fate has in store for me? Or was there something I couldn't done differently?
The fact is, there's always going to be in a time in your life where a hard choice will need to be made. The hard ones are hard for a reason and maybe that little question will always linger in your thought process... but it's important to know that things can be better and changed without losing something completely within. I hope no one ever has to go through what these characters, and the author, did. Life shouldn't be so hard... but I love the message that there can still be a light out there.
Yes, this is a heavy read and could potentially be triggering due to the subject matter. However, it is an important read and there is a message there that can resonate within everyone.
